FR 230 and multiple foot pods

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi.

Can the FR 230 be paired with two foot pods at the same time? To be clear: I don't want to connect and use two foot pods at the same time. I just want to pair them both to the FR230, thus having two foot pod entries in the list of the known sensors. Then, when I go for an activity which requires one specific foot pod, I want to be able to connect it (and only it) in the normal way (by waking it up with movement). Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

Given that you can have multiple HR paired (but only one working at a time), I would say multiple footpod would work also.

Hi,

In short, yes you can.

The Forerunner 230 stores a pool of ANT+ devices. I use 2 hrm straps and 2 footpods. The Forerunner connects to the first device available (of each category) & this works seamlessly. On my old Forerunner 220,I had to manually redetect each device when swapping them over.
